arrrrrgh i made a stupid mistake. i was thinking of taking the earliest plane on saturday morning could save me a night's accommodation, but now i realised there aren't any buses from the place i live to the airport in the early morning. have to take a taxi which would cost me 80 eur, or stay one night in the airport hotel

EDIT: there is a train levaing gatwick for guildford at 9:03 for £10 (11 EUR) which would arrive at 9:42, giving you time to get to the venue just as FMC finishes (if that is what's first).

I request that somebody (Joey) organises a vodka melon for Saturday evening and that you hold a 1 minute silence to think about my face as I'm sure you are all GUTTED that I won't be in attendance.

After all, this is the first UK competition in history without you there (remember I count the beginning of time as UKO '09). Just make sure you win USNats for us. Thanks

I thought that was true, but didn't want to say it unless I was wrong.

 

[James Ludlow]

Is registration still open for this now?

 

[Robert-Y]

Yes.

Me and Rowan are looking for 1-2 people to share a room with us. I texted Joey but he didn't reply

Meh, over 4 months I spent over 5k miles on a megabus or train going back and forth to Aberdeen whilst I was at Uni there, 400-odd miles each way, almost the same as glasgow-guildford

hah thats mad. The actual journey to guildford wouldn't be that bad its the price of the train tickets. i just don't have the money at the minute.

 

[MaeLSTRoM]

Any ideas on the schedule yet?

Any ideas on the schedule yet?

We have many ideas about it, but the schedule won't be released quite yet. Registration will probably close in a few days and then we can look at the schedule again because we'll know how many people are doing each event. Hopefully sometime in the next couple of weeks it will be done.

Gave you tried, mega bus or national express? I got to Manchester and back from London for £10.
Even if you could get only to London (which is more than likely to be cheapest) the return train fare from London to guildford should be quite reasonable.

 

[kinch2002]

Just to say, anyone who is coming must register in the next few days, or else you will miss out. We are closing it very very soon
